TARIK BIO
Tarik is a Brooklyn-born hip-hop artist, songwriter, and creative strategist whose music blends raw storytelling with personal growth, introspection, and cinematic soundscapes. Now based in Austin, Texas, his artistry is rooted in authenticity—creating songs that feel like conversations, capturing life’s struggles, triumphs, and everything in between. Starting in his dorm room, Tarik built his sound from the ground up, crafting music that resonated deeply with listeners. His ability to connect through music has led to 50+ sync placements, including collaborations with the NBA, NFL, ESPN, The North Face, Beats, and HBO’s Euphoria. His music has also been featured in Fortnite and NBA2K21, expanding his reach beyond traditional hip-hop audiences. Fully independent, Tarik is a United Masters Partner Artist, and signed to Secret Road Music Publishing, where he continues to release music on his own terms. His championing of self-improvement and personal growth has made his work a natural fit for major brands, and his focus remains on staying true to his own life experience and sharing his perspective through music. Listeners often gravitate toward his music not just for the sound, but for the way he articulates and reflects on life. Beyond music, Tarik is also the author of two books, You Name It and The Affirmation Booklet—works that reflect his introspective and thought-provoking approach to creativity. He is currently developing Infinite Co., a project dedicated to crafting immersive spaces that challenge perception and inspire growth—a vision that is still unfolding. His focus remains on continuously evolving—musically, personally, and in all things—pushing boundaries while staying true to his own experience of life.
